Two other members of the research group have successfully made it to @eseb2025.bsky.social ahead of me.

Look out for @kztwyman.bsky.social, whose poster "A formal theory of group-level adaptation for obligate eusociality" (P01.068) is in this evening's session.

And Chedhawat Chokechaipaisarn, whose poster "The consequences of constrained sex allocation under local mate competition" (P02.036) is in Tuesday's session.

This is based on his recent paper in Journal of Evolutionary Biology:

There could be some physiological constraints for key structure to develop, e.g. the wings. So there could be a minimum duration, but I would suppose that varies across different animal groups. For the second questions, again, I don't know. But these are fun questions! (2/2)

Thanks! These are really interesting questions. To be clear, my study only looks at the starting time, or onset, of metamorphosis. If you are talking about the duration of metamorphosis, well, I don't know. (1/2)

Thank you Shikhara!
